1 WEATHER WAS PERFECT AND < THE LAW BREAKING NEGLIGIBLE MUCH VISITIN G Church Services in Morning. Many Spent the Day in Hunt* ing.

Anderson experienced one of the most pleasant of Thanksgivings in the memory of the oldest inhabi tants. ' Not a disposition was so steeped in grouchiness that the possessor of it did not draw a pleasant look on his face and let drop to some passing mortal a remark concerlng the weath er. The very brightness of the sun shine and the warmth of its rays penetrated the icy coating of the most confirmed cynic and made him thaw ?ut to auch degree that bis most In- ? t?mate acquaintances scarcely recog nised him. And there was scarcely a mortat -both the law abiding citizen and the sinner, who is not over bur dened with respect for the majesty bf the law., who did not give vent to some expression concerning the total absence.of any signs of rowdyism.
